Top hair care tips + lava earth hair cleanser

Nowadays, hair care is such a big topic. Everybody, or at least every girl, wants pretty, healthy locks. So we’re always on the hunt for the perfect hair care routine and the best products. For today’s post, I teamed up with Logonaand talk a little about their lava earth as a hair cleanser, as well as my favorite tips for happy healthy hair.

Top hair care tips

Don’t wash your hair too often!I used to wash my hair at least every other day. Luckily in my early twenties, I realized I don’t have to and now I wash it only 2-3 times per week. In between washes, dry shampoo is my best friends (no lie, I love dry shampoo). Washing your hair too often will take off its natural oils, the outcome to that is, your scalp produces more oil and you have to wash your hair more often.

Use products without nasty chemicalsI don’t say you should only use all vegan and natural products because that’s not what I do. But I always read labels! Try to stay away from hair care products which contain sulfates, parabens or silicone. They aren’t all super bad but often dry out your scalp and provoke allergies or itchiness.

Do not touch your hair so muchThis is so hard for me. Because I really love to touch my hair (is that weird?). Fluffing up my roots or combing my fingers through my locks is AMAZING. Haha. But it’s not good. Especially touching your roots isn’t. It’s the same with your face, don’t touch it all the time particularly when you’re out and about. Why? Because you touch everything with your hands: you open doors, grab groceries, hold money etc. and when you touch your hair or face all the gunk get’s in contact with your skin and hair/scalp. So your hair get’s dirty quicker and you have to wash it more often.

Sleep with your hair in a loose braidI hate sleeping with my hair open, at least when it’s long. It’s super frizzy and tangled in the morning. So I braid it super loose and secure it with a scrunchy.
This way it’s not tangled in the morning and I also don’t need to curl it. *win-win*

Logona lava earth

Lava earth is a surfactant-free cleanser which is used for hundreds of years in North Africa. It is a popular replacement for soap and cleans and nourishes fine hair and dry/sensible skin.

How it works

By contact with water, lava earth soaks/swells and develops a jelly consistency. It has a high exchange capacity. What means it has the ability to soak up dirt and excess grease without being harsh on the scalp or hair.

Simply mix up some water and lava earth powder and let it swell for a few minutes.
Apply to wet skin or hair and wash as normal.

Fazit

I really enjoy using the Logona lava earth. It leaves my skin super soft and makes my hair nice and clean. Sort, it does everything the packaging say’s it does. But for me, showering in the gym most day’s of the week it’s a little tricky with the powder. So I mostly use it on a Sunday night, when I’m at home pampering. But I’ll definitely try out the wash cream version!

Thank you, Ana. I’m happy you enjoyed the post and find it helpful.
Oh yes, bleach is so bad (I bleach my tips sometimes, and my hair get’s sooooo dry) such a shame.
Maybe try coconut oil as a mask, I love it and it really helps with frizz and dryness.
Much love xx
